ECONNREFUSED when element not found

Start by running the attached trial_journey_issue.txt script against the reported site and compare the first failed iteration with the second. Read browsertime/lib/core/engine/command/click.js, browsertime/lib/core/engine/iteration.js, and browsertime/lib/core/engine/run.js around the reported call paths. Done means the missing-element failure is handled consistently and later iterations do not terminate with ECONNREFUSED.

Have you read the documentation?

What are you trying to accomplish

I am experiencing an issue while running a scripted journey in which it is attempting to perform an operation on a 'not found element.' I have tried running the journey for 3 iterations. The scripted journey has 2 measurements, one for launch and the other for clicking where the element is not found.

The first iteration failed with an error indicating that the element was not found. The journey continued to the second iteration, but it failed immediately after launching the second iteration(even measurement for launch didn't happen). I have provided the version used and the specific error that was reported below. Additionally, I have attached the script for your reference.
